Hiroshima: Miyajima Island Spiritual & Scenic Walking Tour Hiroshima: Miyajima Island Spiritual & Scenic Walking Tour

Discover the spiritual and scenic wonders of Miyajima Island on a guided walking tour. Visit the iconic Itsukushima Shrine, explore Daisho-in Temple, and stroll through Momijidani Park.
Begin your adventure with a scenic ferry ride across the Seto Inland Sea. As the boat glides across calm waters, the silhouette of Miyajima slowly emerges, crowned by lush forests and the towering peaks of Mount Misen. For centuries, pilgrims and travelers have arrived at this island by water, and the ferry continues this timeless tradition, setting the stage for a day steeped in history and spirituality.
As the island draws closer, catch your first glimpse of the Itsukushima Shrine’s iconic torii gate, standing gracefully in the sea. ,Itsukushima Shrine was carefully designed to blend seamlessly with the island’s landscapes. The highlight, of course, is the floating torii gate, which appears to hover gracefully above the sea during high tide. This striking visual effect has made it one of Japan’s most photographed landmarks, symbolizing the boundary between the human world and the divine.
Walk through the shrine’s wooden corridors, with the sea shimmering beneath and the mountains rising in the background, and feel a sense of serenity. For centuries, pilgrims believed Miyajima to be a sacred island, and the shrine was constructed to honor the Shinto deities of the sea and storms. Today, travelers from around the globe come to admire not just its beauty, but the deep spirituality that it represents. After exploring Itsukushima Shrine, continue to Daisho-in Temple, one of Miyajima’s most important Buddhist sites. Nestled at the base of Mount Misen, this temple complex offers a more intimate, contemplative atmosphere compared to the grandeur of Itsukushima Shrine. As you climb the stone steps, be greeted by a row of prayer wheels inscribed with sutras.Spinning these wheels is believed to bring blessings, and many travelers find themselves instinctively turning each one as they ascend. The temple grounds are dotted with hundreds of statues, each with distinct expressions and gestures, from playful jizo guardians to serene bodhisattvas. The quiet pathways, shaded by towering trees, create an environment perfect for reflection. From its hillside vantage point, Daisho-in also offers sweeping views of the island and the Seto Inland Sea. This temple embodies the Buddhist philosophy of harmony with nature, encouraging visitors to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the spiritual side of their journey. In spring, the park is adorned with soft cherry blossoms, while in summer, it provides cool shade beneath deep green canopies. However, Momijidani is most famous for its autumn splendor, when the maple trees ignite in fiery shades of red, orange, and gold. During this season, the park transforms into a painter’s masterpiece, attracting photographers, artists, and travelers from across the world.
Walking through the park’s tranquil trails, one feels a sense of timelessness. The rustle of leaves, the murmur of streams, and the occasional call of deer create a symphony of nature that soothes the soul.
